Nope, there are 2 different mint marks for 1979 and 1981. Click Here What you have pictured is a type 2.
We agree on that.
nesvt - shotgun rolls didn't even exist until the '60s and even they were quite scarce. So I doubt that roll was original in any way. But it's...
Red Tiger I am well aware of the auctions you are talking about. And yes, there were coins that far exceeded estimates and previous sales records....
I have that report someplace, may have to try and dig it out. If you do, please check again. But there was no washing done after the coins were...
Not all die polishing leaves raised lines (incuse on the die) on the coin. Think of a Proof, fields smooth as glass that look just like a mirror....
Stuff like this is why I think any serious collector should consider it mandatory for them to subscribe to both Coin World and Numismatic News....
You can't. One is as likely to happen as the other. And I have little doubt that it would explain under-over grading of some coins.
You are very, very seriously over-estimating. The coin mag with the largest subscription base there is is Coin World, and they only have 100,000...
What makes you think they were original bank rolls ? And please don't tell me you think they were unsearched. edit - I guess I should qualify...

Some do and some don't, it's purely hit and miss because they don't always have them. Specifically, what rolls is that you want ? If you want...
Absolutely no attitude, just a response to your comments about what can already be done and a straightforward question.
Mark if you think the coin is genuine then can you please explain the things I pointed out ? I'm more than willing to listen.
The TPG's don't see it that way. Even the ANA standards say - "To qualify as MS65 a coin must have a fairly sharp strike but not necessarily a...
Do you you really think that a single auction containing what was considered the finest collection out there to be indicative of the entire series...
To a large degree yes. They will grade the coins as 69 with the spots. PCGS even used the reasoning for many years that they would not grade ASE's...
To prevent milk spots ? It's of no use whatsoever. To prevent toning, it works like a champ ;)
Has been one for some time, It's called the contest section. You want to give free coins to YN's then hold a contest with all that is required to...
There is no difference in the coins. The same coins that went into mint rolls went into bank rolls.
